"[Rep. Steve King (R-IA)]'s lone vote against acknowledging the role slaves played in the construction of the United States Capitol is a slap in the face to the very sacrifices and contributions African Americans made to our nation. This is the latest in a long line of erratic behavior from King that has made him an embarrassment to Iowans and to the Republican Party."—DCCC national press secretary Ryan Rudominer, on King's latest foray into the totally fucking absurd, which he ludicrously tried to justify by claiming he was somehow defending "America's Christian heritage" (which he natch also referred to as "our Judeo-Christian heritage").
Wonkette gets 1,000 points for the best headline on King's idiocy: "Lone Fartsack Votes Against Resolution to Thank Slaves for Building the Capitol."
